Abstract

Previous ultrasound speckle tracking methods have been extended, permitting measurement of internal displacement and strain fields over a wide dynamic range of tissue motion. The markedly increased dynamic range of this approach should lead to enhanced contrast resolution in strain and elasticity images. Results of experiments on gelatin-based, tissue equivalent phantoms show the capabilities of the method.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
